NOTE: If your freezer is placed with the door hinge side against
a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can
be opened wider.
LEVELING
The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid
floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded
freezer. It is VERY IMPORTANT for your freezer to be level in
order to function properiy. If the freezer is not leveled during
installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or sea!
properiy, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter's
level to level the freezer from front to back. Adjust the piastic
leveling feet in front, 1/2 bubble higher, so that the door closes
easily when left halfway open.
